European commission president. Promises to help deal with the surge of refugees trying to cross the border from turkey. Plus coping with confinement tweet me to hong kong families thats been told to self quarantine in the wake of the coronavirus tower they and others like them getting on. Hello and welcome to the program projections from the democratic super tuesday primaries in the u. S. Show former Vice President joe biden taking the lead against his rivals biden has clinched victories in 8 states so far with an especially strong showing in the south exit polls link his. Success to strong support from africanamerican older and suburban voters. Meanwhile senator Bernie Sanders has won 3 states and is on track to win the biggest prize california sanders is particularly popular with younger and latino vote. Earlier Bernie Sanders addressed a raucous crowd of supporters in his home state of vermont despite losing ground to biden he was upbeat about his chances of becoming the democratic partys president ial candidate wrote the nods oh you were the absolute confidence were going to win the democratic nomination was. To defeat the most dangerous president in their history this country was obdurate going nowhere in the bible. Well he to be a reporter william blue cross is with me here in the studio and correspondent sander phenomena is in los angeles welcome to you both lets start with you william decisive day for the democrats of course in choosing who they want to challenge donald trump what you think stand now well definitely some big takeaways one money doesnt necessarily necessarily buy you elections Michael Bloomberg put 500000000 dollars interests me being big on super tuesday states and now he might be reassessing his campaign. It helps a loser competition biden lost his moderate competitors after the South Carolina vote and a lot of those votes have now gone to him which has propelled him into the lead now lisas things currently stand in terms of delegates and this is about delegates not about states remember this is a proportional vote so the popular vote gets translated in delhi. Its which means its not just who wins a state but even someone showing a strong 2nd place finish and various states might do very well in racking up those numbers its really the spread between 1st and 2nd and even sometimes 2nd and 3rd so this is very much about numbers is very much a math game now not only that magic word momentum that everybody likes to talk about ok big states california and texas those are the ones to watch on this super tuesday aleksandr phenomenas out in california for example california has the most delegates up for grabs in super tuesday Bernie Sanders was slated to take it hows it looking for him and the other candidates. Well it looks good for Bernie Sanders here according to Associated Press projections he won this state news sources such as the as t. V. Nets with who are more has it tends just saying that hes leading here in california and we also have to add to that majority of the precincts they have to report their results yet but of course it is the biggest price on super tuesday and it is crucial for senate to win here because this state plays to his strength with young girls with latino voters with young and old of them support his vision for americas future but we also have to say that 2 candidates my limburg and joe biden seem to have a 15 percent threshold of all those and it could be that they can claim a significant number of delegates here in california because of Bernie Sanders looking good in california but of course its going to take a while before we get the final results from super tuesday we have to keep my. On that joe biden is still the man to beat looks like hes got the most delegates at this point lets hear what he had to say speaking to his supporters earlier on. Just a few days ago the press the pundits who declared a campaign. And then came South Carolina deja vu save our mood our turnover only got to super tuesday if youre over well it may be over the other guy wound. Joe biden sounding confident i think sandra just days ahead of the super tuesday primary a moderate democrats threw their weight behind joe biden has it given him a boost. Of course. Deadstick case he is having a great snide tonight we have to say just remember how he was struggling a week ago when his critics said that he is not the right candidate for the party to rally around. Very disappointing performance and in the iowa and New Hampshire but then we saw his sweeping victory in South Carolina and the great support of africanamericans for joe biden and then the endorsements from the Party Establishment started to come in with this surprising move by amie cool but sure and peter good to see 2 of his rivals who dropped out of the race and endorse joe biden so he is definitely having momentum right now william we have to clear front runners right now in joe biden Bernie SandersElizabeth Warren and Michael Bloomberg as you already mentioned have polling quite poor behind can we expect them to drop out in the next. Days weeks and if so what kind of impact is going to have only one does have to wonder what this is all about with Michael Bloomberg his fist tragedy with super tuesday putting all this money in a incredible amount of money half a 1000000000. 00 just for him to maybe reassess his campaign tomorrow which of course is code for dropping out Elizabeth Warren is the bigger question mark shes doesnt have the numbers she doesnt have the popularity but as alexandra mentioned theres this magic 15 percent threshold that if you get over 15 percent of the vote in various states and parts of states youre still able to get delegates which could be just enough to make the just competitive enough to push all the way through remember the still a lot more states left a lot more delegates out there to win to get to that National Convention in the summer and fight for the nomination against Bernie Sanders and joe biden and that. Might be Elizabeth Warrens strategy now but she may do it close which are added to judge did in the centrist column doing it on the Progressive Side dropping out and putting her support behind Bernie Sanders well just have to see if thats the tax she takes still some suspense left in the democratic nomination race well here in berlin and out in los angeles phenomena thank you both very much. Say a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today tornadoes that tore through the southern u. S. State of tennessee disrupted super tuesday voting in parts of the state at least 24 people died in the storms with the search for bodies continuing worst hit was the capital nashville.

Sylviane is young is young has been sworn in as the countrys new Prime Minister following the resignation of the previous government should form a conservative poor Party Coalition government this is young shows 3rd stint in office. Now a sign of solidarity with greece says the e. U. Grapples with a new chapter of the migration crisis European Union leaders have been holding emergency talks in the greek town of yes on the countrys border with Turkey Greece accuses turkey of encouraging migrants to cross its borders illegally and also into neighboring ball gary also with e. U. State just days ago said it would no longer prevent migrants from trying to leave its territory and thats sparking fears of a new wave of migration into the European Union. People are still stuck on the turkish side of the border searching for any possible way to get to greece and further into europe. As it look just over there the greek soldiers are watching us with that theyre not allowing us to enter its just 15 to 20 meters away. But they wont let us in. Because we can wait here for 4 or 5 months we are determined to whites we will not leave we wont give up and when they finally open the gates we will and if they dont we will wait have been i dont know if this is turkeys game or europes want but theyre playing with us they put us in a miserable situation. E. U. Leaders came to see the situation for themselves after greece asked for help to secure its land and sea entry points. Europe has not been up to the task of dealing with mike lee from crisis i hope this crisis will serve as a wake up call for everyone to assume the responsibility of the e. U. Leaders announced 700000000 euros in assistance support from its Border Protection agency and Patrol Vessels now is the time for concerted action and cool halves and acting based on our valueless. Turkey is not an enemy and people not just means to reach a goal we would all do well to remember both in the days to come greek Authorities Say theyve prevented tens of thousands of people from crossing the border trucks have arrived with supplies blankets and pillows for me shift shelters those looking for it to europe are preparing for more days if not weeks or months camping i in no mans land. D. W. Correspondent dorian jones is covering the story and joins us now from. Dorian is turkey actively encouraging migrants to cross illegally into the as greece claims and if so whats it trying to achieve with this. Well denies it is actually will facilitate refugees to enter the European Union for the same time it says there is no law in the wall that they stop them from entering another country and they say from now on they will keep their borders open and its up to the European Union countries to accept these people if they are seeking asylum under International Law but why on koreas doing this he said this basically they say it takes a crisis to get the European Union to address the the refugee crisis in this region and chris said ever since his signed an agreement in 2016 with the European Union over Migration Europe has shown little interest in a coup addressing turkeys concerns and it says this is all about getting the European Unions attention and why now its not so much the 4000000. 00 or so refugees in turkey its a fear of the more refugees still to come they fear that another exodus of between 1. 20 syrians from the province could be emptying towards turkey if that crisis is not addressed this move by turkey to create a crisis on the European Union border is about getting brussels attention ok well it seems ankara has gotten brussels attention and see meetings are being held at cetera turkey satisfied with the response so far. Well i mean president been talking about the his the need for a complete overhaul of the my dealing with the migration issue all across europe hes talking about a fair reach attribute of the burden but for sure or is pleased with the attention that the german chancellor merkel is reportedly spoke with president one last night and no one is saying that they european leaders are queuing up to speak to him now after months and years of showing little interest so im very pleased about that attention and particular they are focusing on building up International Support for the creation of safe zones in this province in syria chancellor merkel reportedly has voice can support for that move and that is. Certainly welcome to build an International Coalition of support for this new strategy what has become of those plans then for a socalled safe zone inside of syria because turkey sent its troops into syria with that express aim is there signs that that is actually taking form now. Well they have floated this idea before last year when they controversially intervene in syria against the Kurdish Militia which conqueror considered as terrorist but also an ally of the west in the war against the Islamic State and there does appear little support internationally for the creation of a safe zone there because the fee is a basically because will be will be pushed out and replaced by arabs but in each province which is predominantly arab that is the belief and on credit they can build support and will be looking for a building that support the head of his meeting tomorrow with of russian president but i think we have putin way he will be facing down putin and to create that safe zone which is not very enthusiastic about dorian thank you so much that was dorian jones talking to us from istanbul. Now the corona virus has much of the world in its grip and were focusing today on the tactics that some governments are using to slow the spread of the pathogen france says its seizing stocks of facemasks as cases of the infection soar president manuel neuer called says authorities will redistribute the masks to Health Professionals and those already infected with the coronavirus the World Health Organization has warned that protective gear supplies used in fighting the current a virus or running out globally italys death toll has jumped by almost 50 percent to 79. 00 worldwide more than 3200. 00 patients have died with the majority of those in china meanwhile in hong kong the corona virus has forced people to either self quarantine or work from home on instructions of their employers we look at one family dealing with confinement at home so we have some advice. For bands that rise to ours ready for a possible walk down. You know its very social you know there are family have been spending a lot of time indoors as the city battles to contain the coronavirus parents have a battle with boredom on their hands my. 4. Schools closed to the children digging into studies alone and with dereks company telling stuff to work from home the Kitchen Table has become a coworking space hong kong is still free to go outside though the virus is a rival brought an abrupt end to large gatherings like the months of political protests that gripped this city in recent months. So if i was utter i fall its time you know where where and why we are where we are sort of 5 you know a couple months ago i hope that you know theres a. Virus hopefully it will bring us i tried to get there but some say the quarantine conditions have strained divided families in the past before the oprah today can still light state as day old and into our boy the like the corals with the family members but these days they have to stay at home and without any choice is the they have to like face the like this situation or somehow it will also create more tension within the family. The broader social impact of these measures it may take longer to emerge but for now the al family is coping fine with the confinement. Joining us this morning to talk about the corona virus and it spread is our science correspondent Derrick Williams good morning daryn. The virus has now killed over 3000 people there are dozens of deaths here in europe already is there any prospect of stopping this well i think its interesting to see in the discourse how the experts have moved away from this idea of containment although not officially the w. H. O. Is still the goal is containment officially but theyve moved away from that idea and are moving towards the idea of mitigation the only country thats managed to in some ways contain it so far to some extent has been china and you see this question in mitigation is the question is are there are there going to be a 2nd wave of infections there. After they get this 1st one under control here in germany theyre talking about longer term questions of how are we going to deal with large numbers of people possibly in hospitals how are we going to deal with the with the medical supplies. One way or the other whats very very clear is that a key aspect of fighting the current virus all along has been testing so we decided to take a look at how it works. Determining whether or not someone has the corona virus isnt as simple and straightforward as it sounds the process generally begins when a patient complains of symptoms like fever or a dry cough the challenge is distinguishing a coded 19 infection from the flu or other respiratory conditions because the symptoms are so similar testing begins with the swab sample usually taken from the mouth or nose although experts believe mucous coughed up directly from the lungs is a better indicator many of the various tests use a method known as the polymerase Chain Reaction or p. C. R. And it works like this if a sample contains the corona virus the chemicals in a test kit begin to react with its unique genetic material and start copying it over and over again the copies are tagged with the dye so even when low loads of virus are in a sample they grow more and more detectable with each new generation of copies. One such test for the corona virus was developed in berlin back in january by dr close john to austin and his team who can take several hours to get a positive for a negative result. Will look at all recipe orders some specific ingredients that they will receive after like 2 days at the same time order this small or cool for us that they will also receive within very short time. And then they can Start Testing in the last few weeks the w. H. O. Has sent some 250000 have to austins p. C. R. Kids to labs across the planet the means to detect the virus quickly will play a vital role in combating it effectively but in parts of the world like africa the technology is still far from common. So testing is obviously very important how big is the gap between the demand for corona Virus Testing and the availability of kits and expertise for that well i think that depends obviously very much um on where you are china at the moment says that theyre producing and carrying out over a 1000000 tests we. South korea theyve tested well over 100000 people theyve set up these mobile Testing Centers on streets where theyre just taking people basically out of the cars and testing them straight away italy theyre all another hot spots theyve already tested in excess of 20000 people but you can compare that to places like iran where where theyre theyre really far behind the curve on the us and Subsaharan Africa and interestingly also and the u. S. There are only going to few 100 tests performed there by the by the end of it and people are dying in the u. S. As well a number of deaths already out of Washington State understand theres something of a scandal that merge there tell us more about you know its really the centers for Disease Control appear to really drop the ball on this that has to some extent to do with what the structure the way that they that this whole testing for. Is launched and gets going in the u. S. Generally the c. D. C. Is the one that gets the testing up and running and then they handed theyre supposed to handed over to them to the commercial producers of the test now the c. D. C. Itself produced its 1st tests and one of the regions and the test didnt more and so theyve sort of stopped in that theyre supposed to be at the what they call phase 3 which is commercial production of test at this point and they havent reached that its really got a lot of people scratching their heads what about people who may have the virus but arent showing any symptoms and could be Walking Around spreading it i mean is there anything that can be done to mitigate that risk when what youre talking about here is whats called a logical testing and theres a comparison between 0 logical testing and and molech and Molecular Testing were to whether youre testing for the active virus do you actually have it or have you had it then in the past and and so singapore has come up with a test an Antibody Test last week that will be able to show that they came up with it to kind of tie a tie a connection between 2 different clusters that was unexplainable for them and so this the sewer logical testing testing whether or not people have had it in the past is going to be very important moving forward into the future because thats going to tell us this big shadowy number of how many people really have gotten it and maybe been asymptomatic so that has then a knock on effect by telling us what the fatality rates look like a very important to track the virus see where its going and and good to know to the it is not as fatal as some other viruses have been in the williams resized just thank you so much.
